Misfit’s new Beddit gadget monitors your body while you sleep

Fitness and health might be a landscape best defined by how products work together. Or, how they don’t. But it seems that fitness trackers and other wellness accessories are in a hurry to start dovetailing in 2014. Case in point: Misfit, makers of the Shine fitness tracker, have announced the Misfit Beddit Sleep System, a partnership with Beddit, a $149.99 under-the-bed sleep tracker that offers deeper analysis than what’s already available when wearing a Shine on your wrist. Beddit isn’t new: it launched earlier this year as a thin, slide-under-the-mattress peripheral that’s sensitive enough to record heart rate, snoring, movement and breathing data. You don’t need to wear anything while using it, either: Beddit pairs with the Misfit app automatically via Bluetooth. Misfit’s partnership with Beddit adds integration with their existing fitness app and Shine fitness tracker, plus new algorithms to work with Beddit.
